Hello, all!
As I’m sure you’re all aware, there’s a bit dearth when it comes to slingshot-specific targets. We have silicone “clapper” targets and microfiber leather “spinner” targets, but that’s about it. Anything else you can buy (that kind of works) is usually intended for .22’s, Airsoft, BB guns, air rifles, or something of the sort. Pistol and (AR-15) rifle targets are some of the coolest in my opinion (e.g., self-healing reactive targets, knockdowns, dueling trees, etc.), but a lot of them are incompatible with the slingshot. That is, if they’re “reactive,” they don’t react to slingshots; if they’re supposed to be spinners, they only “swing.” And then there’s the ricochet factor. Well, I’m tired of it!
As some of you may know, I’m going to be launching a U.S.-based website for slingshots and slingshot accessories this spring. I’ll definitely be carrying silicone clappers and microfiber spinners, but I want to carry something else—something special. So, if you could have any type of slingshot-specific target available (even if it doesn’t currently exist), what would it be? I’m not above having something fabricated for our community. I think someone needs to.
Anyways, I’d love to have your feedback to see if we can reach some sort of general consensus. What type of slingshot-specific target needs to be developed next and why?
Hope you’re all having a nice day,
Wes
